Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[Gregorysab]

With so much of pre-release analysis going on, on NEVP... did anyone take into consideration the fact that this film will have a Hindi version too. It is titled as "Assi Nabbe Poorey Sau": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assi_Nabbe_Poorey_Sau

From the telugu/tamil promos, it is evident that Raaja's music will be a backdrop for the film (assuming that the promo scenes were from the movie and not just a marketing gimmick). But Raaja does not have a sizeable repertoire in Hindi, for it to form a backdrop for Hindi version. How is GVM doing to deal this? All said & done, Sadma is the only commercially successful album in Hindi belt and other albums are known only to raaja fans (even in Hindi).

Another question - Will Hindi version have same Tamil/Telugu tunes/arrangements? If yes, then success (of music) in Hindi version will be a key test. Because Hindi is a different ball-game altogether. All the more when the score is supposed to be a 'youth-based" kind.

If Hindi version will have different tunes, catering to the national audience, then we have a double album to cherish

But overall - I am curious about the Hindi version now!
